Inscription Rock
Inscription Rock from Hop Butcher For The World, Chicago's celebrated craft outfit, is a West Coast-leaning IPA that pours a luminous amber-gold with a frothy white crown that lingers invitingly. The aroma opens with a characteristically Midwestern boldness — bright citrus peel, ripe stone fruit, and a resinous pine backbone that signals serious hop intent. On the palate, the beer delivers a satisfying interplay of juicy tropical notes and firm, clean bitterness, balanced by a biscuity malt foundation that keeps things grounded. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and smooth, making it deceptively easy-drinking for its strength. The finish is dry, resinous, and pleasantly lingering — a confident, well-crafted IPA that rewards hop enthusiasts seeking both depth and drinkability.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
